Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The two most frustrating run-ins a student will have with Furman’s Public Safety are for alcohol and parking violations. Many students accumulate hefty parking fines throughout the year that are difficult to pay off. The only time officers seem to let up a little bit is on the weekends. Alcohol violations also have harsh monetary fines, and a note sent home to the student’s parents. Although many people are able to get away with alcohol on campus, the consequences seem unduly harsh for students who are over 21.

Although Public Safety doesn’t make Furman’s policies, they are certainly good at enforcing them. Of course, students appreciate having a safe campus, but most of them wish Public Safety restricted their lives to a much lesser degree.

Hard to Have Fun

Parties are not allowed. Seriously. Even the appearance of a party is strictly disallowed. This includes with or without alcohol. FuPo tickets, watches, and is generally unpleasant and shuts down a lot of social life. Not to say that students don't get around it, it's just not a typical college experience.

It All Depends on Who You Know.

I've seen students get away with 13+ alcohol convictions, and I've seen students suspended/expelled for a single drug suspicion. As long as you're just a frat kid having a good time, you're probably pretty safe, but if you step outside the "acceptable" lines socially, expect to be watched closely.

Furman University Strictness

Furman is pretty strict. FUPO is the campus police, and they love busting parties and giving parking tickets. Furman just became a "wet" campus in the apartments, which is ironic because it is required to live on campus. A year ago a 21 year old could get a pricy alcohol fine. So, if you want to party, you have to be very careful.
